BMW 3 Series E30 325i Sport Evo 2

THE HOLY GRAIL E30 – BMW 325i SPORT IN FULL EVO 2 SPEC 🇩🇪🔥

Rarer than an E30 M3 and arguably more exclusive than anything BMW ever sold in the UK, the BMW 325iS Evolution HP, commonly referred to as the Sport Evo 2, is the stuff of E30 legend.

This extraordinary example started life as a UK-supplied 325i Sport, delivered new by Wollaston BMW in Northampton in 1989, before undergoing a full nine-year nut-and-bolt rebuild to genuine 325i Sport Evo 2 specification. The current owner has had the car since 2007, making it part of his personal collection for nearly 20 years – and every step of the rebuild has been carried out under his stewardship.

Over £20,000 has been spent during current ownership alone, with every receipt from 1989 to today in a three-folder history file. Bodywork was stripped to bare metal by WMARC in the West Midlands, while the mechanical rebuild was entrusted to RSJ BMW Specialist in Birmingham – every single component either replaced with new genuine BMW parts or refurbished and powder-coated.
